Unpopular Opinions

[The Night Shade]

I think that raising a "Flameshield" is pretty stupid and should be stop it's driving me nuts, come on people we need to stop saying it

 

[BOOM headshot65]

This seems to only apply on here, as they are perfectly resonable where I live:

Business:
Unions today are completely unhelpful and oppressive.
Corperations are, in fact, not evil.
We should be going out of our way to get industry back to America.

Politics:
I am pro-life (with extreme exceptions[footnote]IE, Rape, incest, or harm to the mother. However, in all 3 cases, it should be the womens choice of what she wants to do. She still want to give birth even though it might kill her? My hat is off to you ma'am. You are braver than I.[/footnote]).
I am pro-intervention. COMPLETELY pro-intervention. The fact you, Mr. Dictator, used to be The US's ally should not let you off the hook for killing and opressing your people. Sic Simper Tyrannis!
I believe that all drugs that are currently illegal should remain as such...failing that, I would be ok with weed becoming legal, but NOT Cocaine, Meth, etc, under ANY situation.[footnote]At least I know that weed can be used in a medical purpose, and should be legal for such...those others cant and should not be.[/footnote]
In relation to the above mentioned drugs, my heirarchy of what should happen to those people gets alot of flak:

Spoiler: Drug users

Low security jailtime for 1 year/mandatory rehab and probation officers

Spoiler: Drug Pushers

20 years hard time in a High security prison

Spoiler: Drug Lords

Take your pick:
GBU-28 Bunker Buster

US Navy SEALS

Mk. 77 White Phosphorus Bomb. No, I dont care about the bad rap WP got in Iraq. To me, it doesnt matter with those murdering, cowardly, child killers known as drug lords.

GBU-43B "Massive Ordiance Airblasting Bomb", aka, the "Mother Of All Bombs"

I am willing to take a tax hike to have those options happen.
I supported the war in Iraq and Afganistan.
I dont like Obama. I like(d) McCain. When he lost, I gave Obama a chance, and he blew it. Mitt Romney will be getting my vote in November.
I am in favor of the death penalty in the event of murder or rape. (but if, AND ONLY IF, they are 110% sure the guy did it.)
I am in favor of gun ownership. I will have guns to defend my home when I am on my own. Preferably a pump shotgun or single action revolver. Something that I can "fire" without firing. Because no one in thier right mind will continue trying to break in after hearing *Click-click* from a 12 guage.
I prefer charities to do the work that the social safety net does now, because the government screws it up.
I liked George W. Bush.

Religion:
I believe in God.
I believe All religion prays to the same God, everyone goes to the same Heaven, and the only people turned away are the truely evil (Murderers, Rapist, Genocideist, etc).
There is nothing wrong with religion...there is just something wrong with its emissaries (IE, the Church.)
Chivialry and Gentlemanly Code is actually a good thing.
I believe you should not have sex before marriage.[footnote]Serves some pratical purpose in my current relationship to my girlfriend/future fiance. If you want to know how, PM me.[/footnote]

Entertainment:
I like ALL Star Wars movies. Yes, even 1-3...and even the animated ones.
I like the Micheal Bay Transformer movies.
I think Micheal Bay and George Lucas are good Directers.
I like Bill O'Reilly and the O'Reilly Factor.

 

[The Good Doctor]

I hate religion. I think it's a poison. It brings many people peace, but it destroys so much of what makes humanity great: it stops progress, and creates an intelligence drain on the general populace. God is a fallacy, and anyone who believes otherwise is either kidding themselves or just plain scared. People who have faith can do great things. Einstein, Thomas Edison, many theoretical physicists are spiritual, and have done more for the understanding of the universe, but they sustain this illogical and baseless belief. Religion, in particular, however, is evil. It should be eradicated. Extinguished. Firebombed from fifteen miles up. You get the point. It hurts too many people to be good.

I absolutely agree. Especially because of how irritating it is to have someone go on and on about how "God will save them" and "I'll pray for you" and all that shit. It's like they don't have any trust in humanity.

And it's 1000x more annoying when they have some disability or have had an absolutely shit life. They're running away from their problems, deluding themselves into believing that some nonexistant Great Dick in the Sky is going to save them.

Plus, religion causes too many damn problems. Israel, anyone? Firebomb that piece of shit, please.

1. Doesn't address my argument.
2. Don't try and make yourself seem smarter than you are or tried to "set you up" for anything.
3. You just quit making sense after this point to be honest. I got lost in the confusion in you're mind and the sarcasm in your post.
4. Oh shit, guys, guess it's time to break out the grammatical insults. Also, I find it pretty easy to defend why I think that pedophilia is wrong.

1. Because there was no argument.
2. That... is not a sentence. Still waiting for that link, by the way.
3. You said that, I quote, "the world powers should just bum rush North Korea and destroy every trace of government there, handing power over to South Korea".
4. Then do so, by all means!
5. "Your" mind. "You're" is short for "you are", "your" is a possessive pronoun. What's so goddamned hard about this?

Okay, its starting to get kind of agitating trying to respond to you anymore so Im just going to assume your trolling and call it a night.

And for the record, I win logic.

Of course you do, buddy, here's a medal.

You didn't actually give me one, you just said that you did. Just making sure the rest of the users know this.

I believe that if we want to solve many of the overpopulation, saturated employment markets, and over all large population of the poor that we need to enact a "Gattaca" like law. Though realistically right now the best we can do is euthanize people with disabilities and disorders.

I don't think its right and to be honest I would be dead right now if this was put into reality, but I do think it would solve some large problems in the world right now.

 

[Starik20X6]

I reckon free speech should be less free, or at least better defined.

I've had it with people using free speech as a crutch to spout off ignorance and bile, claiming they've got a right to be bigoted because of 'free speech'. Notice how it's only ever the racists, the homophobes and all the other disgusting scummy little toads who ever talk about free speech? The only time someone brings up freedom of speech is when someone else is calling them out for being a dickbag.

 

[Supertegwyn]

I think Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is worse than Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK THE HEAVENS!!!!!
Somebody who ACTUALLY believes that! And I thought I was the only one....

OT:
Abortion is a-ok.
I believe that safety is better than freedom. People should not have the freedom to smoke themselves to death.
Almost anything is fine in moderation. (there are exceptions of course)
Imperialism is a fine system.
Socialism is not a good idea.
'Hacktavists' can go to hell. (especially Anon)
We should increase police forces and decrease armed forces
People with disabilities are not 'better' than anyone else. They have a handicap and should be treated as such.
Julia Gillard is MILES ahead of Tony Abbot.
Obama is a good president.
Stalin was worse than Hitler.
People who think intelligent people are 'superior' than stupid people are fools. Your intelligence does not change your value in society.
America is not the worst country in the world.
I don't like Israel OR Palestine.
Voting should be compulsory in EVERY democratic country.

 

[Supertegwyn]

I think that eventually the Western world is going to have to go to war with the Islamic world and I hope the Western world utterly crushes and basically eliminates the Islamic world in that war.

Uh.... Why?

Why do we have to go to war with them?

And why do you wish that Islam is destroyed?

That's pretty racist.

 

[Supertegwyn]

I just cannot stand children. At all.

I think they are rude, selfish, annoying, loud, dirty and stupid.

If any adult had all those characteristics, I would never choose to spend any time with them and I would hate them. So children are no different to me.

*cough* generalizing.

Just because some children are rude, doesn't mean all of them are.

 

[Yuno Gasai]

Criminals are people too, and this is something society tends to forget when it's busy baying for the blood of someone who murdered a child.

The saying "an eye for an eye" is outdated, and I don't believe it has grounds today. If you're willing to call for someone who tortured an innocent person to be tortured themselves (and to feel vindicated and remorseless in doing so), you're no better than the criminal.

Performing these acts under the guise of the 'law' doesn't make them okay.

 

[Durgiun]

2001: A Space Odyssey has got to be the single most boring movie I've ever seen and some its fanatic fans (not the regular ones who just like it) really get on my very last nerve. Pretentious pseudo-intellectual gits.

Star Wars isn't even 1/10th as good as Star Trek.

Fallout 3 and New Vegas are superior to Oblivion in every way.

Piracy is not a goddamn issue if you're pirating, say FIFA or GTA. I don't think Rockstar's in the street with a sign saying ''will develop/publish games for food''. They already have an established fanbase that will buy nigh-everything they give out. The only people piracy is hurting are indie developers who aren't gigantic multi-million studios.

I think the Nostalgia Critic is an overrated entertainer who has an annoying girly voice whenever he raises it by 1 decibel.

Linkara is no longer entertaining.

Also, paraphrasing George Carlin, the people should have the right to execute any politician who does a shit job, or ruins the country at the end of their term.

I find Ezio Auditore to be the most blandest, boring character in games. Even the Doom Guy had more of a personality than Ezio.

And for the coup de grâce, the rules about not being allowed to textually supporting piracy on the Escapist are utter fucking bullshit.

So? Just let the internet dwellers debunk any of their bullshit and everyone's happy.

It appears you have clicked on a post entitled "unpopular opinions" and come on it to argue with those opinions.

I think you may have missed the point.

As it wasn't "Opinions with an irrational basis" I don't see how he's missed the point. Unpopular doesn't mean irrational.

Haha you can't be serious. You're arguing on the internet about whether some post in an "unpopular opinions" thread with all kinds of crazy opinions is an "irrational" opinion?

Irrational in who's opinion? Yours? Well fuck your opinion about my opinion, buddy!

Why not? That's a weak way to defend yourself. Oh look, it's the Internet! Is your opinion that bad that even you can't try to defend it except by something that weak?

Irrational in who's opinion? Yours?

Well it's simply irrational by any reasonable account. Generalizing in that manner does not form a rational basis for an opinion.

Fuck. Your. Reasonable. Account.

3 All parent who drink through pregnancy should have no compensation if the kid is disabled, the same goes for smoking.

How is this fair? You're not helping the kid because his disability came from his mother? What the hell's the kid supposed to do?
